It's almost the end of 2019! As we say goodbye to our first year in production, we leave you with one final news update.

Patreon Tiers Revealed

The Patreon is officially live and ready for business! As a special bonus in December, we are going to release two of the Campfire episodes and one of our pre-generated adventure modules at no charge! The module will be a copy of the "Temple of the Lizardfolk" adventure that's based on the Episode 3 & 4 dungeon. You know, the one where the gang rescued Vantajar from the swamp temple after they put the blood back in. Anyone who joins in 2019 will receive special "OG Patron" status, which will earn you special benefits and rewards in the future!

Comfortable Sigh$1, $3, $5 or more per month

We realize people have different financial situations, so we have created the Comfortable Sigh tier with three different donation levels so you can choose the price that fits your budget. We appreciate the support you give us no matter what. Thank you.

Benefits at this tier include:

Discord text chat access

Shout out on the show upon joining

Sticker & signed thank you letter

Unexpected Inhale$10 or more per month

You have surprised us with your kindness and support, and that deserves a show of thanks. At this tier you'll unlock a few monthly benefits as well as a quarterly bonus. This will be delivered at the end of each quarter (March, June, September, December).

Benefits Include:

All previous tier benefits

A monthly Campfire Episode detailing a short story involving the main characters, each other, and/or an NPC (Single Episode, 15-30 mins)

A quarterly written one-shot D&D campaign based in our world. Will generally run parallel to the main storyline and will include all the information needed to run your D&D group through a short session in Telunor.

Quarterly access to a Discord-based live Q&A with the cast. We’re currently not supporting video streams, but that may change in the future. This tier will be grandfathered into that.

Surprising Respiration$20 or more per month

Our minds have been blown! This level of support is the stuff of legend, and you run the risk of melting our eyeballs out of their sockets with your pure awesome sauce. In an effort to appease the beast that is your hunger for more Shocking Gasp, we offer several mega quarterly rewards. These will be delivered at the end of each quarter (March, June, September, December).

Benefits Include:

All previous tier benefits

A quarterly Swag Bag of goodies hand-picked by the Shocking Gasp cast

A quarterly mini arc episode wherein we play the one-shot adventure released in the previous tier (2-3 hours long)

Work directly with Scott the Dungeon Heckler to create an NPC, town, magic item, or other permanent entity within the show

December Salestravaganza!

Our TeePublic store will be having a continuous sale from December 1st through December 18th! All items will be up to 35% off during that time. This is the perfect chance to buy your grandma that Tilly sweatshirt she's always wanted, or to get ahead of 2020's hot fashion trends by securing your Scott the Dungeon Heckler iPhone case now.

D&D News Article

This article really warms us because it not only highlights our favorite tabletop game, it suggests that humans are using the game to reconnect in a way that doesn’t involve a phone or an app. Additionally, D&D has been therapeutically helpful in casting heal on those who struggle with social anxiety, autism, and ADHD. With the addition of the 5e ruleset, the game has become more accessible to a wider audience. It truly is a wonderful game and one of the things we look forward to in our lives.

Year End Thank You's

These are the folks that offered us tons of support this year and helped us grow to be who and what we are. Thank you all so much for the constant support. We love and appreciate each of you so very much!

That's it, everyone! 2019 has been a wild ride. We saw the podcast grow to where it is now, averaging 200+ downloads per listen with an all-time total of 9,500+ downloads. That's really cool and we have you to thank. So even if you're not on the list above, please know we still cherish and love you. Thank you so much!
